Wooden Man's Remaining Manuscript (木人剩稿)


乙卯四月十五子夜,師夢緇素雲集,設新高座,請示法要(時素多緇少)
師曰:「自漢明帝法流震旦,人皆依教,修證者多。爾後人逐名言,依經解義,證悟者寡。故我達磨初祖航海而來,掃蕩糟粕,不立文字,直指人心,見性成佛。既云不立文字,又教老僧今日向什麼處開口?所以昔日維摩被文殊一問,直得咳嗽不得。而今還有能為維摩大士出得一口氣者,不妨出看。」眾無語。良久,曰:「眾既為法而來,不可入寶山空手而歸。老僧常為大眾別唱箇舊家曲調也罷。」僧出,云:「雖然是箇舊家曲,一番提起一番新。」師曰:「昔日白侍郎參鳥窠禪師,窠曰:『諸惡莫作,眾善奉行,自淨其意,是諸佛教。』白曰:『者箇話三歲孩童亦說得。』窠曰:『三歲孩童雖說得,八十公公行不得。』彼時侍郎直饒舌頭吐出三寸,亦不能下口。屈殺,屈殺。」便下座。
